Cans for Comments!!
There’s a new movement among photographers… and it’s not selective coloring! It’s cans for comments! For every comment you leave in this post between now and December 15th, Portraiture by Melanie will donate 1 can of food to our local food bank. You can be a part of meeting needs right along with us! So, all you lurkers… and those who claim they stalk me… time to come out of the shadows and leave a comment! If you don’t know what to say, just say “Merry Christmas”! Though a little note would be nice.

hey melanie! Behla from LJ here. Hope that you get lots of comments!
December 8th, 2008 at 4:40 pmI am doing this too! I hope we both get lots of comments
December 8th, 2008 at 5:26 pmDangit, now you’re going to know that I stalk you religiously. Merry Christmas, Mel, to you and all of your family!
December 8th, 2008 at 7:43 pmthis is the second time today I have seen this post, I think I might be a qualified time to be a copycat!
December 8th, 2008 at 8:05 pmThis is just your way of trying to get more comments… I know you
Need me to teach you my couponing ways of finding the best deals on canned food? =P
December 8th, 2008 at 11:39 pmDoes it count if we leave more than one comment?
(You know I’m gonna post about this EVERYWHERE, right?)
December 8th, 2008 at 11:40 pmAdd 1 more to the stash!
December 9th, 2008 at 12:12 amI’m trying to find all the places doing the cans for comments thing.. it’s out of control!

Been lurking for a while, love your images, so jealous of your studio. Keep up the good work.

December 9th, 2008 at 7:08 amPlease don’t make me cream of mushroom soup. I think I’m best represented by something simple and non-flashy like cut green beans or corn. Maybe french cut green beans although that may be pushing it.
